Scarborough Faire

 We braved the extreme Texas heat and headed back in time to a medeival-ish time period full of mazes, monsters, uneven accents, tunics, and fair food and had an amazingly fun family day at the Renaissance Faire: Scarborough Faire!

We rode elephants, saw a crazy juggler, spotted a Star Trek away team, found Waldo, dined on turkey legs, frozen orange drink, and funnel cake!

We purchased wares from a metalworker and an oyster splitter; we found, and ate, and shared the last pretzel; we made our way in and out of the maze with ease; had the best pickle on the planet; and felt like (very hot, but very content) royalty!

Fair Time 2017

On a beautiful, sunny, Sunday fall afternoon, the four of loaded up, and headed out to the Texas State Fair!

Yummy foods, silly entertainment, funny animals...

a Fair time was had by all!

"talking" to Big Tex

For the first year ever, the two of you actually decided that you really really liked Fair Food!

So we shared our turkey leg!

We visited the "farm" you guys love to work on once a year...

You ate a GIANT bag of Cotton Candy...

we watched the PIG RACES...

drove a bus...

played some games...

and fed some animals!

...and fed some animals!

 We visited our friends: a really big giant cowboy...

some less big, but kinda weird animals...

...and Mother Goose!

We couldn't think of two better people to share our corn dogs, turkey legs, and a sunny afternoon with! All's Fair!
